After celebrating Christmas with a family church day trip and ringing in 2022 with a newly launched image providing Kate Middleton, the Cambridge household had every other occasion to celebrate: Kate's 40th birthday on Sunday.
Kensington Palace marked the occasion by means of releasing three new snap shots of the Duchess of Cambridge, taken in November with the aid of Italian photographer Paolo Roversi. In fact, Prince William and the couple's three teenagers — Prince George, 8, Princess Charlotte, 6, and Prince Louis, 3 — helped select one of the pictures that would be shared with the world.
Kate's household selected the close-up shot of Kate smiling in a one-shoulder dress with her hair swept over her shoulders, and according to the photographer, it's "where a carefree woman returns."
Kate's new photos will enter the everlasting collection of the National Portrait Gallery and be displayed over the route of 2022 in three places that keep exclusive meaning to Kate: Berkshire, St. Andrews and Anglesey.
Kate grew up in Bucklebury, Berkshire, and regularly returns to spend time with her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, who still stay in the quiet village.
St. Andrews is an necessary spot for both Kate and Prince William as they met as newcomers at the University of St. Andrews in 2002.
And Anglesey is where the couple lived after their royal wedding ceremony in 2011. William and Kate rented an remoted cottage in Anglesey, Wales, as William educated nearby for the Royal Air Force. They moved to Kensington Palace with Prince George in 2013. At the Anglesey Show in 2013, William said: "This island has been our first domestic together, and it will usually be an immensely exclusive location for us both."
